Home EC Class: Project 3

Reusable Grocery (Tote) Bag

Lessons learned:
   making a larger bag
   straps
   strong "x-joint"
   corner technique

I used an old pillowcase for this project...

I LOVE the x-joint technique! It's relatively easy and it looks really great.  I thought I might get this monogrammed with a fun color...

This is GREAT!!!! And you matched up your stripes really good, too! Love the fact that you're using "fabric" you already have, even if it's something else you can recycle. That's creativity, Honey Girl, and you've got lots of it. :D
